    Liberals are hyper exposed to the latter and sheltered from the former.

    Check the Cuba coverage right now. We’re getting wall to wall #SOSCuba tier hysterics, while the devestation of the blockade and the threat of a military invasion goes fully unreported.

      Yep, good point. Thankfully solar and other supplies are being given to Cuba in large quantities, but this is a return to special period style intentional misery.

        That’s news to me. Was just listening to a podcast interviewing a local Cuban journalist, suggesting help was not - in fact - on the way.

        Incidentally, Belly of the Beast does some excellent domestic Cuban coverage. But everything they are reporting suggests these supplies have not been forthcoming, on account of the military blockade of the island. Like, you cannot sail ships into and out of the major harbors (shy of outright smuggling or armed escort).

        Much like with the Gaza Blockade, there are ongoing efforts to build political pressure by assembling relief and directing it at the island. There’s no reason to believe it will actually arrive.

    Fighting against your oppressors makes you no better than them, so just close your eyes and think of England.

    Not really, violence of the oppressor is lawful so is not as bad as the violence against it, and it shouldn’t be fight using violence but the system that validated the oppressors violence. - The Libs

    Luigi did nothing wrong.

    Usually though violence does more harm than good to the cause, and the people who partake in it usually care more about LARPing as a revolutionary than actually achieving revolution.
